A few people had some ideas about Matrox leaving the videocard buisniness once they released their Parhelia. However, today the masters of 2D bring us yet another set of products. The two cards we’ve recieved info about are Matrox Millenium P650 and P750.
What seperates the cards is the multi monitor functionality: P750 supports three monitors while P650 “only” supports two. We understand that the cores of these cards are based on the Parhelia chip that was released last year.
The GPU is now 256 bits though and the memory bus is also only half as wide as the Parhelia. Right now there’s only 64 MB models available. Of course this matters less as these cards are in no way geared towards gamers.
Video editing, CAD, MCAD etc. is the prime targets for these cards.
We haven’t recieved any info on clock frequencies or pipeline/TMU configurations yet but we’re working on it.
You can find PDF-files with more info here och here.
